Well you can blame it on the bossa nova, baby,
You can blame it on the song.
And you can blame it on my libido, girl
But don’t say I got it wrong.
And you can say that you don’t understand
How we both got into this.
But I know the date, the time and place,
And that it started with a kiss.

Chorus

Well you can shake your head; and play let’s pretend
That this is all a dream.
Or you can pinch and kick, but make it quick
Because I think I’m gonna scream.
You know it wasn’t much, just a passing touch,
But it was just too nice to miss,
And to my surprise, looking in your eyes,
I know it started with a kiss.

Yes, you can tie me up inside your heart,
And you can use our love for string,
Or you can lock me tight in your warm embrace
And hear my body sing.
And you can wrap me up in your feather bed
Until my blood begins to hiss,
But don’t shake your head, because it’s all been said,
You know it started with a kiss.
